Maybe in another world, there was a Minoru who flew on brooms and spoke to snakes. Or one that traveled the badlands as a spellcasting monk. Or even one that could breathe fire like a dragon. But this Minoru? Well, he had his doubts that he or anyone else in his world could do anything like that.
(At least, normally. Weird things did happen in the Nexus from time to time.)
“The only thing I’ve got with any history is probably this…” he tugged a necklace out from underneath his shirt. “It belonged to Mama. And her mother before that. I know that much.”
Stories of a ninja clan, however, ran on the other side of the family. His father’s, not his mother’s.
The necklace itself was simple, comprised of three small donut-shaped charms on a chain. The charms were made from Shibuichi, a grey-colored metallic alloy that was commonly used for embellishing swords back in the day. The chain looked a lot newer and has likely been replaced several times.
“Not sure if this tells you anything.” He asked, still holding it gently. Aal was welcome to get a closer look if she wanted to.
Minoru had received the necklace as a gift when he was just a child. His mother, Chichi Uchiwa, had taken ill and the family truly feared she might die. (Thankfully, she recovered.) But Minoru was struggling at the time. So, just as her mother did for her before she passed, Chichi explained to her son that the necklace was meant to be a piece of her that he could always keep with him. Living things like Kazumi aside, this was, by far, his most prized possession.
